Quote:I think a movable viewing pane in the preview panel (like Project One) would be more useful than the ability to draw in that small space.
The possibility to draw there is just a side effect of the program design :) I'll think about it.
Quote:The horizontal/vertical sliders are not as efficient.
Additionally you can drag the zoomed view while keeping down the middle mouse button. Additionally the view scrolls when you move the cursor towards the border. Maybe I'll also add the way you suggest.
Quote:Space key shortcut for eyedropper tool would allow for simple, efficient keyboard/mouse operation.
If eyedropper means colorpicker, you can try the Shift key. But today I heared the at least on Windows this doesn't work after minimizing and restoring the window. Seems there's still a focus problem.
Quote:Redefinable keyboard shortcuts in general would be awesome... to suit individual tastes.
In the other thread also somebody ask about Amica key bindings. In the last days I realized that it's nearly impossible do make a cross-platform cross-local-keymap cross-interest key assignment. Also wxWidgets does not make this very easy. That's why a customizable keymap is an important point on my list.
Quote:The tabs are nice, would be neat to have close icons on each tab as well.
You are not the first one asking for this. The only reason for not having them is that I use a pre-defined widget which doesn't support this. I'll add Ctrl+W and possibly a close Icon in the toolbar. In the meantime Alt+F C (File=>Close) should help.
Thank's for your feedback. I take all remarks serious, but af course my time is limited.

New version is looking/working better, please keep up the updates!
Probably best to move away from .KLA, it's already an established extension according to searches on google.

the majority of programs does NOT use ".kla", but ".koa". infact i have never seen ".kla" before p1 was released. |

| Groepaz, I see what you mean. I guess I meant "image browser". Well, if the majority of programs use KLA then it makes sense. :-/ I'll just ask the xnView guys to add KLA extension support (already tried associating KLAs with it, didn't work). Doodle support seems to have problems too. |

"I think KOA is the better default save extension, since it's what xnView uses by default... the only GUI-based PC KOA viewing tool I know of."
what about... congo, debabilizer, gimp plugins, etc pp :)

Fully agree with the single-pixel comments, definitely needed.

App is coming along well, though. Congrats, good work. :-) |

Ok, I understand that it is important to put single pixels and to draw freehand-"lines" without changing the tool. I think the fix will take about 5 minutes, I'll build a new version when coming home.
About copy&paste: As long as this feature isn't implemented, it may help that the clone brush works from one image into another one. But this can be quite time consuming, because this "brush" is 1 x 1 pixel large :) |

| I have to agree with some of these people. Whenever I get into drawing, I prefer to do it in pixels. The editing seems a bit strange, which is to be expected from a new(ish) tool. Looking forward to the next version... |

| Very promising, but the freehand tool (what a purist pixel graphician would use the most) works quite strange. Namely it does its job while I'm constantly holding my mouse button, but when I'd like to put down pixels one by one (while rapidly pressing the button), sometimes I get no reaction. |

Quote:Next: pixels in the border \o/
I really want to encourage everybody to add feature requests at Berlios. If they have a detailed description I can add them to my plans. And if somebody doesn't want to register there he can open a thread in this forum and do it there. I'm not a graphician and not a demo coder, so maybe I have some wrong assumptions about the things which should work. |

Quote:The "draw freehand lines tool" should be able to set a pixel at the first mouseclick
Oh, that's a bug. You are right, one has to move the mouse a little bit to get the first pixel. I'll fix that. I implemented the signle pixel mode because it may be not wanted to "smear" more then one pixel when doing things like dithering (is this the right term?) and moving the mouse a bit accidently. But I think your problem will be solved when the freehand thing works as it should. |

| I dont realy get it why the pen-tools are separated. I want to be able to set single pixels with the "draw freehand lines tool" *OR* draw freehand lines with the "draw single dots"-tool. Right now it is impossible to use it for drawing, unless you keep switching these tools every second. The "draw freehand lines tool" should be able to set a pixel at the first mouseclick. Other than that, the editor looks Götta! (="realy good";-) |

this looks good, i have played around with it a bit now :)
now if we only have a copy & paste function so we can copy some gfx and paste it on another screen, then we can work simultaneousness on two screen at once.. and a save function for executable .prg files would also be nice... |
